STRATEGIC LEADERSHIP INFRASTRUCTURE
You've Outgrown Founder-Led Marketing. We Are What Comes Next
yorCMO installs senior marketing leadership into companies between $5M and $50M that have outgrown founder-led marketing but aren't ready for the cost or risk of a full-time CMO hire.
What Is yorCMO?
yorCMO matches B2B and B2C companies with vetted fractional CMOs who provide executive-level marketing leadership without the full-time cost or risk. Founded in 2016, yorCMO’s team brings over 1,000 collective years of marketing leadership experience. Typical clients are companies with $5M–$100M in annual revenue that need strategic marketing leadership, not just tactical execution.
THE FOUNDER TRANSITION PROBLEM
The problem isn’t that marketing isn’t working. It’s that it doesn’t work without you.
Four forces converge until the status quo becomes intolerable. That’s when yorCMO enters.
The Revenue Plateau
Marketing is happening, vendors, campaigns, website. Growth has stalled. You can’t connect spend to results.
The Trust Erosion
Agencies over-promised. A marketing hire didn’t work. You’re skeptical of every marketing claim.
The Founder Bottleneck
You’re approving every ad, every email, every campaign.Unsustainable and it’s costing the business deals.
The Risk Calculation
A full-time CMO means $250K+ salary, 12–18 months of ramp, potential severance. yorCMO eliminates the risk cycle.
WHAT YOU ACTUALLY GET
Three things yorCMO does that no agency, consultant, or solo fractional can.
PILLAR 01
Marketing Leadership That Runs While You Lead
For CEOs still acting as the de facto head of marketing.
You don’t need more marketing ideas. You need someone who owns the outcome, runs your marketing function, and frees you to lead your company.
- Embedded in your leadership team — not an outside consultant.
- Effective from Day 1 — no 90-day runway.
- Owns your team, holds vendors accountable.
PILLAR 02
A Proven System That Connects Marketing to Revenue
For CEOs spending on marketing without knowing what’s working.
We don’t bring ideas. We install a proven system of marketing controls — built over 9 years, tested with hundreds of companies — that connects every marketing decision to revenue.
- Six fundamentals that plug into any operating system or methodology.
- Quarterly sprints with accountability scorecards.
- Every quarter, you see what’s working and what’s next.
PILLAR 03
27+ Senior CMOs. One Proven System. AI-Amplified Speed.
For CEOs weighing fractional vs. full-time vs. agency.
You’re not hiring one person. You’re accessing a bench of 27+ seasoned marketing executives — powered by AI tools that compress research, analysis, and time-to-value.
- Decades of cross-industry C-suite experience.
- ~30–40% of a full-time CMO cost.
- Human-led. AI-amplified. No agency markup.
